[B] [E] [B] [Ab]
[B] [Dbm] [B] [Ab] [Bb]
[B] [Dbm] I [B] can't sleep at night, [Bb]
[B] I [Dbm] [Abm] can't eat a bite, [Fm]
[Bb] cause the man I [Bbm] love, he [Bb] don't [B] treat me right.
[Dbm] [Ebm] [Dbm] [Abm]
[Dbm] He makes me feel so [Em] blue, I don't know [Dbm] what to [B] do, [Abm] sometimes I set his fire, and then began to cry, [Bb] he went away [F] and [Dbm] never even said [B] goodbye.
[Eb] [Bb]
[B] There's a change [Abm] in the [Gb] ocean,
[B] change in the deep blue sea, my baby, [Dbm] I'll tell the world there [Gb] ain't no [B] changing.
[E] [B] [E] [Abm] [Gb] My love for that [Db] man [Gb] will
[B] always be, [Ab] [Dbm] [Ab]
[B] now I got the Harlem blues,
[Dbm] since my man [B] went away, I ain't got no [Ebm] [Ab] time to lose.
[B] I do like the Chinaman [F] Bay, calling her, [Db] gonna stand on the corner, gonna blow my [B] top.
Since [Ebm] my love [Ab] has been refused, [Db] now I got [Ebm] the Harlem [Abm] blues.
[Db]
[B] Harlem, [G] Harlem, now [Eb] she's got the Harlem [Bb] blues, yeah [Abm] she's got it, since the man has [Bb] gone [B] away, gone away.
[Dbm] She ain't got no [Abm] time to [Ab] lose, that [Bbm] dirty man has done her wrong.
[D] [B] He left her feeling blue, [E] doing things that she [B] wouldn't do.
She's going down to the river, taking a run, [E] tied around her neck [B] and jumped over the dock, cause her love has been [E] refused.
Now she's got the [B] Harlem blues, her brain's a-dreaming, now she's got the Harlem blues, a crazy feeling, now she's got the Harlem blues.
[N] Ah, that's a song.
Thank you, boys.
That's
